The tap-in bv the 6-4 Shelby. N.C.. native gave him 37 points in the contest and boosted his ACC league-leading scoring average to 26 3 for the vear. He made good on 15 of 26 field goal tries against the Terrapins and was seven for seven from the free throw line. Twentv of his points came in the second half. Earlier in the week.

The award is the second of the season for the Wolfpack sophomore. He was chosen player of the week in mid-December after leading his team to the Big Four Tournament championship. gm J MHH StOrIs Cage Buffs Still Buzzing Over Game CHARLOTTE Atlantic Coast Conference bas ketball officials and just plain buffs were still talking Monday about the sparkling sample of ACC basketball displayed for a national television network au dience Sunday by North Caro lina State and Maryland at Col lege Park, Md. In addition to the sellout crowd of 14,500 that jammed the Terps' Cole Field House for the 12:15 p.m. tipoff, a potential television audience of about 25 million was able to watch on a 140-station network through the combined facilities of the C. D. Chesley Television Co. and the Hughes Sports Network, ac cording to network officials. The game originally was booked for Wednesday, Jan. 17 by the schools, with the ex pectation that it would be seen on the usual 16-station network that carries regional telecasts of ACC games to five area states and Washington, D.C. But perceptive Castleman D. Chesley of suburban Phila delphia, who has been staging ACC basketball productions for several years, got an idea last spring. After he learned that the pro football Super Bowl game would be played at 3:30 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 14, at Los Angeles, he suggested to ACC athletic directors last May that perhaps the N.C. State-Maryland game could be moved to Sunday afternoon, just in ad vance of the pro football classic on a day when the nation's sports fans were keyed up for the football finals and would be in the mood for an attract ive lead-in to a super football afternoon. This done, the task of adding stations to the original 16 be gan, with coverage extending from New York to California. Everyone agreed last spring that Maryland, winner of the National Invitation Tournament in March at New York, and N.C. State, with heralded soph omore David Thompson, were the two teams most likely to dethrone North Carolina as ACC champion, if the Tar Heels were to be beaten. But nobody, least of all C. D. Chesley, dreamed back in May that when high noon Sunday, Jan. 14 rolled around, he would be staging a game between two of the three remaining un beaten major college teams in the n a 1 1 o n second-ranked Maryland and No. 3 N.C. State. And the game was a classic befitting such a pairing, with N.C State coming back after blowing a 13-point second half lead, to wipe out a late six point lead by Maryland and win 87-85. Thompson climaxed a 37 point performance by rebound ing the winning basket with three seconds to play. Chesley's next star attraction is a 12 noon North Carolina at Maryland game, Saturday, Jan. 27, again on national TV. Meanwhile, he's wondering about the Jan. 31 return game, Maryland at N.C. State, presently set for regional TV only. IN THE ONLY other game last weekend, Duke nosed out scrambling Clemson 75-73 on the regional TV hookup. It was Duke's first home game since Dec. 30 and the win kept the Blue Devils out of the ACC basement. s ppr ys jr iaiim ' JMMMM Dolphins' Shula Says Of Super Bowl Aftermath Can't Stand To Be Loser' LOS ANGELES - They won't have Don Shula to kick around anymore. "After all my personal frus trations, it's great to win the big oeeT said the coach of the - rlt-harnptor Mtami Dek phins. I dorit think I could have stood for banquet emcees ' to introduce me by saying, 'Here's that three-time loser.' " For Shula, the morning after was super. His 17-0 Dolphins awoke with the realization that Sunday's 14 7 Super Bowl Vn mastery of Washington wasn't a dream. Miami really was the first all the-way perfect team in Nation al Football League history. President Nixon, a backer of the Super Bowl losers, phoned his accolade. "He just called to con gratulate me," Shula said of the Nixon call from the Florida White House. "He said some personal things to me. No, he didn't invite me anyplace or of l or a Cabinet job." Shula and pen pal Nixon struck up a relationship after Don's Baltimore Colts were up set by the New York Jets in Su per Bowl III. Nixon, then President-elect, said he knew how it felt to be a loser. Both are winners now by landslides although Nixon ad mittedly pulled for Shula's los ing Dolphins against Dallas in last January's Super Bowl as well as being in the defeated Redskins corner Sunday. "He didn't, mention that," Shula said with a smile. Shula refused to talk about a possible "dynasty" with thes Dolphins. He said "coach-types don't usually djscuss such things with the jrompetition as great as it is in the NFL." Later, though, in Monday's n e v s c o n f e r e nee Shula reluctantly gave somewhat of a comparison between today's Dolphins and the NFL wonder teams of the past, such as the Green Bay Packers of the Vinee Lombardi Era. "In my mind, they're the best," he said of the undefeated Miamians. "They accomplished f Bisons Prevail In Televised Contest 10-1 Howard Turns Back Morgan State Five, 68-55 HONORED - N. C. State's Tommy Burleson has been named player of the week in the ACC on the basis of his great play against Maryland Sunday. Burleson, Thompson Singled Out GREENSBORO, N.C. Junior center Tommy Burleson today was picked as the basket ball player of the week in the Atlantic Coast Conference. This gave North Carolina State's un beaten Wolfpack a clean sweep of the weekly honors for the second time this season. Earlier a committee of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association selected sophomore David Thompson as the rookie of the week. Burleson was cited for his performance in the Pack's 87-85 victory over previously un defeated Maryland Sunday, as well as his brilliant play in two other triumphs last week. The 7-foot -4 native of New land, N.C, scored 70 points in the three games, including a season-high of 30 in a 115-53, victory over Lehigh. He had 20 points in the 84-87 victory over Duke and matched that figure in the 87-85 triumph over Mary land. He also had 35 rebounds, In cluding a game-high of 15 against the Terps. He also was credited with blocking nine shots in the three contests. Burleson has a 10.2 scoring average and is the ACC's sec ond leading rebounder with an 1L1 average.

How ard University's basketball team, fared with the chal lenge of stopping Marv Web ster, did an effective job as I he Morgan State College Bears (7-4) fell flat on their faces in a major Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MF.AC) clash for both teams. Using a defense that front ed Webster from the front and rear, the once-beaten Bi sons (10-1) conceded the Bears the outside game and left Hurt Gymnasium with a 68-55 decision in a bitterly contested game between the two league arch rivals that was Howard's 10th victory in succession. ANXIOUS TO prove their championship mettle before an overflowing crowd of !;.500 fans swingina from the rafters and the TV cameras Df Base Enterprises, the Bears committed an unpar donable 26 turnovers and failed to connect on four cru cialial foul situations. The loss to the Bisons marked the third Of the Bears' four losses that could be attributed to foul shoot ing. MORGAN rebounded from a slow start to take a 32-28 lead at the half but wilted under a tenacious Bison de fense in the semnrf half. The game was close thrnuch most of the second half with neither team being able to get. a hot streak. Finally. Howard' which in creased its winning sfreak to 10 after an opening loss, took charge with 6:10 remaining when Mike Farley hit two foul shots to give the Bisons a 49 46 advantage. Howard added six points before Mor gan could retaliate and the Bears were down;-46 with 4:42 remaining. Reserve Billy Newton fired in a jump shot slicing the lead to 55-50 with 3:42 left but it was the last time the Bears were close. Robert Lewis and Arnold Young combined for 10 points in the closing minutes as the Bisons steadily pulled away. LEWIS, most valuable player in the MBAC last year, finished with 20 points and Young added 18 to lead the Bisons. A disturbed Morgan cosch Nat Frazier said, "Howard executed and we didn't. They made us play their type of game (deliberate) because we didn't hustle." ' "Marvin Webj&l). would get the reboundilnd nobody would be dowaajMpi t the fast break going It was more than the Packers. Nobody ever did what they have dona, going 17-0. The record speaks for itself." The only bitterness in this volves around his association with Carroll Rosenbloom, for mer Colts owner who now no sesses the Los Angeles Rams. "His saying that I freeze up in the big ones is just another in a three-year series of brutal attacks on me and my family," Shula said. ' Shula continued his admira tion for the accomplishments of Washington Coach George Al len, but took jabs at the ethics of the Redskin operation. Ha pointed to the play where line man Harold McLioton was called for kicking the football as Miami's center began his snap to punter Larry Seiple in the early going Sunday. "The call I think, should have been unsportsmanlike con duct," Shula said. Getting back to Allen, he said, "I don't agree with how he's done some things, I don't condone them. But, it's his life." Although dodging the ques tion all week about last year's Super Bowl disaster being a special motivation for Miami, Shula finally said, "After you get beat in this thing, you're re duced to almost having not even been here at all. After it's over, there's only one team . . . the winner. Then, there are the 25 other teams in the league." Shula is aware that running back Jim Kiick is unhappy at being alternated with Mercury Morris.

Hk jUH I fsBlfl BBBM Maryland's John Lucas yp Lip r J-PifjMiy By CHUCK LEWIS Herald Sports Writer John Lucas is a confused young man. Or is he? It is hard for him to understand why so many Atlantic Coast Conference fans have been "amazed" at the success he has attained as a freshman on Maryland's third-ranked basketball team. Adjectives of amazing, unreal, sensa tional and super have been used to describe Lucas, who, after a brilliant high school career at Durham Hillside, chose Maryland from a list of 401 colleges and universities. "What these people don't understand," said Lucas, "is what I am doing for Mary land is what I have been doing ever since I was in Junior high school but at a higher level of competition." Lucas, who came home for two days after Sunday's heart-breaking 87-85 defeat at the hands of N.C. State, is the quarter back. - His statistics show that in only his second and third games in a Terp uniform, he established a school record for the most consecutive field goals (12). Lucas is second in the conference in field goal per centage (61.7), second in assists (6.7) and sports a 14.0 scoring average to rank third on the team. Defensively, he leads the team in steals and has held his man under 10 points in all 12 of Maryland's games. "THERE IS nothing amazing, unreal or great about what I have done at Mary land," be maintains. "But at the same time, I would like to think that I have done an adequate job to an extent. "I was recruited for the point position. My Job is to get all the players into the flow of things and then make something happen. "I have been doing that for seven years. The only thing that has changed is the level of competition and the tempo," Lucas said. He credits seven years of sound coaching as having prepared him mentally and physically for the rugged ACC. He claims it also helped him avoid a lot of pitfalls which usually beset freshmen. "A lot of hot-shot freshmen want to step right in and be the star attraction. I never even envisioned that. I lust want to blend my talents with a wealth of other talent which we have on the team. "I guess a lot of people didn't even expect me to be playing at this point in the season, let alone starting. Maybe this is what some people mean by amazing. It seems that I or somebody is confused about all of this," he contends. Lucas said the fact that a lot of people felt he couldn't cut it in the ACC doesn't bother him anymore. "Maybe they didn't know any better or maybe they didn't know me. . "WE EVEN have some people in Mary land who feel that anybody who comes from North Carolina is a so-so player. A lot of people at College Park, even some of our players, didn't think that (David) Thomp son, because he is from Shelby, was the super player I told them he was. "They figured about the only thing he could do was jump. . . . Now they know. I would like to think that my play thus far, although not spectacular, has silenced some of the critics." Reflecting on Sunday's defeat, Lucas said the loss was tougher to bear because "we had victory within our grasp only to have it snatched from us the final three seconds on David's tip-in. "We played well but State played better. It was a tough break for us and at the same time a great win for State. We came so near after trailing by 13 points, yet so far away," he said. Lucas, always a take-charge player, scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, including six straight during one stretch. "Time was running out. We were behind and something had to be done. So I just did what came naturally . . . took my man to the hoop. "Once I got it going and with (Tommy) Burleson in foul trouble, we decided to go to "Mac" (Tom McMillen), hoping that he could draw the fifth foul on Burleson. He didn't. The rest is history. "If I could play the role of a spectator for a moment and look back, win or lose, it was a spectator's delight. It had everything great defense, outstanding shooting, great passing, momentum switches and finally the dramatic finish. It had it all." Old Song, Only Up Tempo 'Skins, Dolphins Back Home MIAMI - Some 5,000 chanting, singing and shivering fans gave the Miami Dolphins a tumultuous welcome Monday night as Coach Don Shula and his h i s t o r y making team brought home the city's first Super Bowl championship. "I can't tell you how much this means," said Shula. "I think 17-0 says it all the world championship." Fans were ready with a sign saying "The Devil Made Him Do It" for sicker Garo Ye premian, who muffed a big play in Miami's 14-7 victory over Washington when he tried to pass following a blocked field goal try. "I want to thank you very much and I'll never try it again," said the short, balding Armenian-Cypriot tie-maker, whose hobbled pass attempt ruled a fumble was picked off by the Redskins' Mike Bass and run back for Washington's only touchdown. The Washington Redskins, loser in the Super Bowl, return ed to the nation's capital to the cheers M a small group of admirers' who somehow man aged to bypass security guards. Nearly 150 fans were at Red skins I'aik at 7:55 p.m. when the team bus arrived from Dul les International Airport, only a few miles away in suburban Virginia, although tearn offi cials had made known they didn't want a big reception. . Police tried to warn fans away from the Redskins, fear ing a traffic Jam on the only access road to Dulles. "I didn't think we would have this type of turnout after loss," said Coach George Allen. "One of the good things about this year has been the fans. We didn't expect this kind of recep tion, especially at 8 p.m. "There is nofeason why we can't be in the Super Bowl next year," be said to the cheers of the crowd, many of whom had stood in the 40-degree weather for some five hours to greet the Redskins, 14-7 losers to Miami Sunday.
